not to detract from the seriousness of this crime, but it's killing me that I keep seeing "decapitated head", when it should be "disembodied head". it's his body that's decapitated.

Never too serious for a healthy dose of pedantry.
And I am taking note to your wording because it’s so easy to come off negatively when being pedantic, yet you’ve avoided that quite elegantly.
Indeed, their head surely is capacitated.
How bad is it killing you?
The person is stored in the head
"Federal official" in this case being an engineer for the US Army Corp of Engineers.
How long until Trump promises to pardon?
If he ends up back in a position to do that and follows through, hopefully he'll adopt the guy too.
I mean, we've all been there... /s
Why do they say allegedly? I don't think there are many scenarios where you are holding your father's head in that context where you are not the one who killed him
This is standard practice in journalism to avoid libel lawsuits. Until there’s a conviction, you say “allegedly”. The media’s role is to report facts not to determine legal guilt.
Presumably either as a matter of principle, and/or to avoid any potential liability. Probably more the latter. Pre-trial it's alleged, post trial it's convicted. If for whatever reason there wasn't a conviction, the news outlet could potentially be on the hook for defamation.
I'm not a lawyer, and this is just a guess.
Good. He deserves to be.
Is this not considered normal behavior?
…asking for a friend
Censorship has gone too far!
Finally, something interesting on YouTube. The algorithm should like it too: two faces with craaaaazy expressions.
